'We've got to send the message to members of Congress, to other countries...that what we are doing is not working.' Texas Republican RepLanceGooden makes a case to ChrisCuomo on why he believes it could make sense for President Trump to close the border.
Washington A top White House adviser indicated Tuesday afternoon that the administration might try to find a way to keep goods moving across the US-Mexico border -- just before President Donald Trump told reporters that he remains"totally prepared" to follow through on his threat to shut down all traffic over undocumented immigration.
The apparent contradiction stood out on a day of wild moves by the Trump administration, which is navigating the border crisis as Trump is fueling a renewed debate on the future of American health care with his support for a legal challenge against Obamacare. Trump has threatened to close the border this week as a way to stem illegal immigration. But if a shutdown blocks trade, too, it would disrupt the daily flow of $1.7 billion of goods to store shelves and factory floors.
